Iowa State University to offer Iowa Caucuses MOOC

It happens every four years. Iowa voters meet in churches, schools, even living rooms, to be part of the first-in-the-nation stop for presidential hopefuls. The Iowa Caucuses have helped launch and end the aspirations of many candidates. This initial test in the presidential selection process will be the focus for a new massive open online course (MOOC) at Iowa State University.
